New trailer for Shinji Higuchi’s live-action ‘Attack on Titan’ Posted: 17 Jul 2015 12:00 AM PDT "Attack on Titan" Japanese Theatrical Poster The shrinking budget for complex computer-effects has allowed many Japanese filmmakers to bring the world of anime, with its gravity-defying heroes and city-destroying battles, into the realm of live-action. Successful adaptations of the Death Note and Gantz series have helped pave the way in recent years, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, director Shinji Higuchi – known primarily for his special effects work on the 90′s Gamera trilogy – is preparing to bring Attack on Titan to the big screen in a two-part saga, the first of which releases next year. The series Attack on Titan takes place in a strange, quasi-medieval world in which giant humanoid creatures named Titans appear and threaten the lives of everyday people. Civilization’s only line of defense against the Titans are teenage soldiers who traverse the Titans’ massive bodies using powerful grappling hooks. The first season of the popular show is currently streaming on Netflix. In preparation of the film’s release next year, the producers have released several character posters (click here). | First footage from the live-action film. | 1st teaser trailer. | 2nd teaser trailer.| New trailer.
